“Live our dreams, fly our flag”

We lift our dreams, and fly our flags highly.
A) In our 45 years of independence, we faced a number of challenges such as :
- The need to upgrade its industry
- Our employment rate
- The large population lacks formal education. and more recently, global financial crisis was faced.
So how did we managed to solve all these problems and move on towards the future?
Fortunately, we have managed to do so because we have all the founding leaders that gave in their all to help managing Singapore.
B) Founding leaders such as :
Lee Kuan Yew, as our Minister Mentor now.
He have helped to guide Singapore since we had our independence.
Dr. Goh Keng Swee, The Architect of Singapore.
He passed away peacefully on 14th May 2010 .
Dr. Toh Chin Chye
He was among the founder members with the PAP and was chairperson from its formation in 1954 to 1981, save for a brief period in 1957 when leftists took over the Party leadership. He was elected as a PAP member for Rochor in the 1959 general elections. He stepped down from the cabinet and party chairmanship in 1981. He served out his final two terms as a vocal backbencher, including criticising his own party on a regular basis. He retired from politics in 1988.
